In his inaugural speech, Mr CV Innes stressed on the need to recognize and appreciate the inherent talent of the children for their holistic development and added that effective classroom teaching has to be augmented with activities which develops a spirit of competition and fair play. This, in the long run helps in building the confidence and shapes the character of the individual.
In a sincere advice to the participants, he remarked that more important than winning, was the spirit of participation and asked the losers to take their defeat with grace and dignity. It is far more important to master disappointment for the one who has mastered it, can overcome the ups and down of his life with ease.
